Ye and The Game tease new track “TINA” inspired by Beyoncé’s mom.
The Compton rapper previews Ye-Produced song “Tina” after Banana emoji DM to Tina Knowles
Kanye West and The Game have reunited for a bizarre new song entitled “Tina” and it’s all about Beyoncé and Solange Knowles's mom.
On the track, Game raps: “I see my Destiny’s Child / DMing was stressing me out / Nervous, my stomach in knots / So I took a couple of shots.”
The song also samples Knowles’ appearance on the aforementioned talk show as well as Tina Turner’s hit “What’s Love Got to do With It”.
Ye, Game then dropped what appeared to be a full music video for “Tina” which saw the two of them exchanging bars while wearing balaclavas and hi-vis jackets.
Beyoncé, Tina Knowles nor Solange Knowles are yet to comment on the song.
Studio footage of The Game can be shown below where he is laying down vocals, after which Ye shared an impromptu, Blair Witch-esque video for the track, which does indeed appear to sample both Knowles’ Hudson moment and Turner’s “What’s Love Got to Do With It.” In the song, Game tucks in a Destiny’s Child mention and is joined on the mic by Ye himself, marking a continuation of the two’s past collaborations including the Pete Davidson-mocking “Eazy” in 2022.
At the end of the video, an unknown individual is prompted to explain what, exactly, has transpired, leading to a somewhat scripted-sounding breakdown beginning with “it started off as a joke” and landing at a tease of Game’s new album.
“Then the music video turned into the basis of his whole album, and then before we knew it, The Documentary 3,” the individual tells the camera.
